Secure Geofencing Solutions for Edge Fleets
Geofencing is your automated sentry to prevent theft and maximize ROI
Asset theft is an unfortunate reality for modern businesses. But a device that locks down and alarms when it’s not where it’s supposed to be sends a clear message: You won’t make that theft easy. Protect your high-end kiosk hardware, sensitive patient records, or confidential business data with powerful geofencing.
Secure Your Device Fleet Against Loss and Misuse at Every Step
While theft is the top concern for any device fleet operator, the value of strong geofencing goes beyond theft protection. Lost devices, assets straying from their defined zones, and misuse are common risks — and where geofencing provides proactive value, not just defensive insurance. Here’s how.

Always-On Geofencing for Always-On Protection
Esper’s geofencing doesn’t take a break, so neither do your defenses. With automated alerts, lockdowns, and tracking, you’re covered around the clock. Whether devices are in transit, on-site, or in remote locations, geofencing ensures they’re monitored and protected every step of the way.
Lock Devices to Prevent Theft: Automatically restrict device functionality outside designated zones, making stolen hardware unusable and unattractive for resale.
Restrict Usage to Specific Locations: Set boundaries to ensure devices are only used where they’re authorized, keeping resources and information secure and accessible only in approved areas.
Quickly Locate Lost Devices: Use GPS tracking and an audible alarm to locate misplaced devices easily, reducing downtime and loss.
Monitor Driver Routes for Compliance: Lock devices to assigned routes and receive alerts if a driver strays, helping you maintain control over fleet operations.
Identify and Address Route Deviations: Track route patterns and deviations to improve routing efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs.
Maximize ROI by Reducing Asset Loss: Keep devices within controlled zones to prevent theft and extend their lifespans, ensuring you get the most value from your investment.
Security from Day One
You can’t watch your devices 24/7 — but with Esper, you don’t have to. From high-value retail kiosks to classroom tablets, lost or stolen devices are no longer a constant worry. Esper’s geofencing provides the peace of mind that your assets are secure, day and night.
From the moment you set up geofencing, your devices gain an added layer of protection, allowing you to focus on what matters most: running your business.
See What Other Esper Users Say About Geofencing
BusRight and Esper both value simplicity, usability, and an outstanding user experience, so it’s a natural partnership. After Esper’s free trial, we became so accustomed to their modern and intuitive platform, the competitor solutions just felt off. Also, the features that Esper provides are robust where other companies say they provide the same solutions, but they’re clearly not built for fleet management.
In order to cope with the Pandemic and ensure that our students wouldn’t miss out or fall behind, we procured 10,000 devices with an aim to use them for blended learning once the schools resumed. A Mobile Device Manager (MDM) wasn’t enough. We required a partner that would help us to restrict usage to educational apps, track our devices and enable our teachers to monitor the students’ usage of the devices.
